Dear Raphael,

I don't quite understand your proposal. Can Application parse an option specified as follows?

  --compiler-environment=MODULES

According to the doc (http://www.mozart-oz.org/documentation/system/ node3.html#section.application.cmdparsing), long options are given as --option=value? Not to mention the added difficulty of parsing a value lists embedded in the option value (like MODULES).

Dear Torsten,

For the sake of syntax, I would suggest to use "--compiler-" as a prefix
to compiler options, so you could write things like

    --compiler-warnshadow
    --compiler-environment=MODULES

A generic way to specify compiler options sounds like a must-have to me.

Cheers,
raph

Dear Wolfgang,

thank you very much for this.

There are other compiler options not supported by ozmake either (e.g., all the warning options like --warnshadow). Could we perhaps add support for arbitrary compiler options in a generic way? For example, we could have an option --compileroptionsfile=PATH, where the text file at PATH contains arbitrary compiler options which are all hand to the compiler by ozmake. Of course, the users are responsible for what they are doing.

I thought a while about an option --compileroption=OPTION, where OPTION
is any compiler option and the option --compileroption could occur
multiple times. However, I couldn't come up with a suitable format this
late.. Easy cases would be boolean options like

  --compileroption=warnshadow

However, I don't know how to handle compiler options which expect a list
of values...

  --compileroption=environment=MODULES

BTW: any chance such changes to ozmake will make it into the main
repository?

Best
Torsten
